Stamping Polishes

I have come to the conclusion that I wanted to have a tab that has a list of polish's that are great for nail stamping. If anyone knows of any colors I do not have listed, let me know!

Very First buy from http://www.8ty8beauty.com/

This is a quick review I wanted to personally do. I was not sent review items, these I bought on my own.

I saw some people talk about how they recently purchased from a website "http://www.8ty8beauty.com/". I decided to check out the website and I noticed they had some great china glaze colors, and for cheap. I decided to purchase from them. I bought 6 china glaze polishes called "Golden Enchantment", "Meteor Shower", "Skyscraper","Mahoganie", "Flower Girl", and "CG In The City". I would love to say how excited I am for these. They came in perfect packaging. But most of all my reason for this post is how fast their shipping is. I ordered on July 27th. I just got my package in today.. TWO days later. THAT'S IT! Two days! Fastest shipping I have ever encountered. This is the polish's and the packaging:









Last post has massive white balance even though I put it down. Camera doesn't always agree with me.

But I am very pleased with my purchase :)

Purple glitter and Zebra.

I am showing you a manicure that I found a tutorial on youtube.
Credit for idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v​=FQHB80vaWSU&feature=share
 
I was going to try her way of doing it but I messed up and went a bit more simpler



I used the purple Milani one coat glitter
China Glaze Liquid Leather for the black background
Konad white stamp color for the zebra stripes
Art Deco silver glitter for the single stripe
I used bundle monster rhinestone for the heart rhinestone
Lastly, Konad stamp m57

Please check out that youtube video she's amazing!!

La-Pazitively Hot a stamped with Pussy Cat

I am showing you a quick swatch I did. I put on a base color of OPI "La-Pazitively Hot" stamped with Pure Ice "Pussy Cat". The stamp is A92 by ArtDeco.


I had to darken the pictures a little bit to see the stamp image. I hate trying to picture these metallic stamp colors with no sunlight. This is what I get for taking the pictures at night..

Review from NailDeRoyale.com

I am showing you some reviews I have from a few items that were sent to me from a website called NailDeRoyale.

These are the items that was sent to me:





There is one blue LaRosa crackle polish called "Feeling Blue?"
The nail art striper is from Omega Labs. Which there is no label for a name but it has a code number of 166. I looked on the website and it is called "Omega Hot Orange".
Then there are two pots of nail glitters. The black is called "Asphalt" and the orange is called "Orange Sand. These are made by ISIS.

First up was the nail art striper.

  In the sun
In the shade.

This was an extremely opaque polish, which I love when it comes to nail stripers. Another thing I loved was how thin the brush is.

 I have been using LA Colors brushes, and this blows them away. The brush is so much thinner, and also more opaque. I adored this striper.

Second I reviewed is the LaRosa Crackle. I have heard of this brand and I always wanted to try it out. Here are my results over my previous manicure.


LOOK AT THAT CRACKLE! lol. It crackles better than my china glaze's do. I loved it and it was so easy to work with. It also started crackling right away.



Next come the two pots of nail glitters. Now I will admit I have never used nail glitter before so this was interesting for me. I started by using a brush to put the glitter on. I then realized it would be easier with the top of the pots lid under my nail and slowly pour the glitter on my nail. This was my results:





As you can see the black has holo glitter in it. It's gorgeous. I also liked the orange but it's a bit more difficult to see on my nails. The black really pops out though.




This is my first ever review and I am so excited. If you go on www.NailDeRoyale.com you can purchase these products. Here are the prices:

LaRosa crackle is on sale now for $4.49.
Nail Striper is $2.99 each.
Orange sand glitter is $2.99 a pot.
Asphault is also $2.99 a pot.


Thanks for reading!

These products were sent to me for review. These are my full opinions on the products.

Orly Flirty

I am swatching for you Orly- Flirty. I had to take this in the shade for more of an accurate picture. In the sun it kept coming out magenta-ish. The color is a tad bit brighter than what my photo's are showing. It's gorgeous though. Great application.

Orly Fresh

Today I am posting a swatch of one of the New Orly Happy Go Lucky collection. This one is called "Fresh"

I went to Waterfest '17 this weekend in New Jersey. It's an Audi/VW car show my boyfriend was dying to go. They had this BMW with green wheel that matched my nails so I had to take a picture with it.

The other picture is on my boyfriends computer so I can't access it since he's home. But this color reminded me exactly of green apples :)

The formula was amazing, color is beautiful, and it lasted 5 days with BARELY a chip. I didn't even add extra topcoats like we're supposed tot.

Sally Hansen Dianthus and Freehand design

Today I am showing you a swatch by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure- Dianthus. This is a beautiful reddish pink color. I did not like how it reminded me of melted plastic though when I was applying. These usually chip fast on me, but I only wore for a day before I added a design. I did have tipwear though from doing filing at work.











I got this at Ocean State Job Lot for two dollars. I wouldn't pay for the full seven dollars though, so I feel much better. I didn't mind spending the two dollars.








I actually did this design myself. I used China Glaze "Towel Boy Toy" for the blue stripe and then Art Deco strippers for the silver glitter and black stripe. Then I reused the Sally Hansen color for the pink dots.

Revlon - Ocean Breeze

I am showing another swatch today. It is Revlon - Ocean Breeze. It is one of the scented polish's. Though it only kinda smells like an ocean breeze. Kinda mixed with Febreeze too lol. Nice application but it does have brushstrokes. Not a bad polish but not one of my favorites either.
